'Hillary Clinton has made clear she will insist on the nomination even if she trails in elected delegates, and Obama’s side is sure to be furious if the “establishment” rips the prize away from its candidate. Whoever emerges the bloodied victor will face a daunting task of reuniting the party and defeating Republican John McCain in November.

On the morning of the New Hampshire primary, feminist Gloria Steinem added fuel to the “identity politics” fire by arguing in a New York Times op-ed that American women have suffered more political and economic discrimination than American black men.

...
Steinem’s historical arguments threw down a gauntlet to a bitter debate over who’s the bigger victim, blacks or women.

This video clip on the Today Show covers new research about why women lie -- pretty much about everything: sex, marriage,fidelity, motherhood, work, finances, etc. Of course the experts' explanations are that "society" conditions women to lie and be deceptive and so it's not women's fault. This segment is almost as funny as Tom Leykis' "Chicks on Politics." And of course it ends with remarks about how men lie too -- but they are not as good at it as women. The fairer sex caught in a truthful moment?

'A woman comes in, a man goes out. That's how the quota works; that's the law," says Kjell Erik Øie, deputy minister of children and equality, in the centre-left "Red-Green" coalition government in Oslo. "Very seldom do men let go of power easily. But when you start using the half of the talent you have previously ignored, then everybody gains."

So what is stopping companies from appointing women to their boards? Catalyst, an influential New York thinktank, has published a list of the barriers to female advancement to board level. Top of the list is women's lack of management experience, closely followed by women's exclusion from informal networks; stereotypes about women's abilities; a lack of role models; a failure of male leadership; family responsibilities; and naivety when it comes to company politics.

More than just yet-another-child-abusing-woman story, this one is asking for leads. If you were in that area and have any ideas, please report them. Story here. Excerpt:

'ORLANDO, Fla. -- Investigators are searching for a woman on Thursday who was videotaped while spraying a girl with a pressured water hose at an Orlando car wash.

Surveillance cameras captured the woman holding the girl with one hand and holding the hose in the other hand at an arm's length distance.'

Story here. If you're a good boy, more num-nums for you! No mention of repairs to faucets or the fact that men are expected to, and far more often than not, have their incomes treated as 'family property' while their wives' incomes are 'her own money'. The whole tone of this article makes me want to reach for the trash can. It just drips with contempt and is filled with garbage. Excerpt:

"Behold with me the politics of gynocentrism. What a depressing and desiccative sight it is. Just look at Gloria Steinem.
...
American women are the freest, wealthiest, most educated in the world. They are liberated enough to choose someone for president other than a female candidate out of uterus-based loyalty. This should be viewed as progress, not heresy. But the old-guard feminists — the "ruling people" — deeply resent this independence as they cling to what's left of their power base and their shrinking absolute moral authority card."

'SAN JOSE, Calif. -- A teenager who told authorities she was gang raped last year by members of the De Anza College baseball team has filed suit against the players.

The civil suit was filed Monday in Santa Clara County Superior Court. It comes a year after the girl reported she was raped - and nine months after the Santa Clara County District Attorney decided not to file charges.

The teenager seeks an unspecified amount of money from nine former players and another young man who attended the party. ...She is not identified in the suit.'

Friends to the End is a book that sent me off on a path I'd never imagined.

When I first started writing it in late 1999, my main intention was to write something a bit unusual; a book that wasn't appearing in the dozens by different authors under different titles in every bookstore in the country.

I began writing this book about a male victim of domestic violence, under the same misapprehensions that most people held at the time, and still hold today -- that there is the same help available for male victims as there is for women. All anyone in this kind of situation need do is pick up a phone and help will surely come, is the conventional wisdom.

Story here. Excerpt:

"The Colorado Rockies have been ordered into mediation by state authorities after a man complained that he was denied a free "Ladies Night" game pass because of his gender.

The ruling comes from the Colorado Civil Rights Division, which concluded that the man, Stephen Horner, had a valid concern and it needs to be addressed, according to a report from KDVR-Television in Denver.

Horner reported he attended a Major League Baseball game with the Rockies in Denver in 2007 when employees of the team were handing out free vouchers to a future game – to women only. He said he asked for a voucher but was told he couldn't have one because he is a man.

He complained, but got no results, he claimed in a subsequent gender discrimination complaint with the Colorado Civil Rights Division."

Story here. The report starts out with opinions saying it's wrong, but quickly tuns into an apology and ends with:

'Harvard's policy is no different from commercial gyms that cater partially or even exclusively to women, said Ibrahim Hooper, a spokesman for the Washington-based Council on American-Islamic Relations.

"The Muslim bashers portray it as the world coming to end, but if women have a couple hours a week to work out in private, I don't see it as a major issue," he said.'

Yeah, it's not so bad. One little building at the end of campus, just for a few hours a week, that's all. And it'll be OK too when black kids say they're uncomfortable in the gym with white kids, then they can get their own hours too. Same for white kids. And gay people. Gay men might be uncomfortable being naked in the men's locker rooms so maybe they need their own. Same for lesbians. And Hispanics. Hell, maybe everyone needs their own little gym with their own private shower and bathroom too, all out of sense of modesty, in the name of religious belief.

'A Fort Lewis soldier killed two other soldiers — a married couple — and poured acid on their bodies in an attempt to dispose of them, a prosecutor said Monday.

Spc. Ivette Gonzalez Davila, 22, was ordered held without bond for investigation of aggravated first-degree murder as well as kidnapping. She was accused of taking the couple's 6-month-old girl.
...
The victims were identified as Timothy Miller, 27, and Randi Miller, 25. Timothy Miller was apparently shot in a bathtub at the couple's suburban Parkland home, while Randi Miller was shot on a bed and then moved to the bathtub, Murphy wrote.

According to the declaration, Davila took the baby to a home-improvement store after the killings, bought muriatic acid, returned to the home and poured it on the bodies.

The baby was not harmed and is now in the care of the state's Child Protective Services.

Davila told the soldier that "Randi Miller was in a relationship with Davila's ex-boyfriend," Murphy said in his declaration."'

'Judge David Roper said he felt badly for Kenneth Samuels when he learned the child he had fathered for 11 years wasn't his.

Justice was also shortchanged, the judge said, because Mr. Samuels had been paying child support all of those years.

Last month, Judge Roper ruled that Jamie Hope, the child's mother, and Oba Wallace, the child's biological father, would have to repay Mr. Samuels $14,460 in child support he had paid since 1997.'

Although this is fair justice being served, I highly doubt that the woman would have had to pay back anything if Oba Wallace, another male, wasn't involved.

I just saw this on Glenn Sack's blog. J-Lo is on the rampage in this video; She pushes men down the stairs, shoves them, kicks them, etc.

You can check out Jennifer Lopez's anti-male video here.

I don't think we have to worry about her for much longer though as her sales are pretty poor and she's about to be dropped from her label.

I understand MANN has guidelines in regards to political submissions. My position on Steinem is not political just disgust over her disrespect for men in combat. I think as MRA's we can respect the suffering a man endures during war. While McCain was beaten and tortured as a POW Steinem was burning her bra during some silly feminist protest. Excerpt:

'The New York Observer reports that in Austin, Texas, over the weekend, feminist icon Gloria Steinem belittled Sen. John McCain's five-and-a-half years as a POW and said the media would treat that war record differently if it were a woman veteran's record.

"Suppose John McCain had been Joan McCain and Joan McCain had got captured, shot down and been a POW for eight years?" Steinem asked, suggesting the media would ask "'What did you do wrong to get captured? What terrible things did you do while you were there as a captive for eight years?" ...
